Chapter 101: Feminism?
Therefore, the camera position of "Death Video Rec" is the camera in the hands of the cameraman who accompanied the interview.
It was definitely a huge challenge, regardless of the cameraman's own stamina – so the Fire Lion had decided to arrange at least three to five photographer doubles to take turns working with the stamina issues.
In addition, because of the "one-shot" camera, it is natural that the actors' performances are more stringent, although some of the transitions can be switched by using violent shaking. However, there are still quite a few challenges to the actors' performances.
And the photographer himself is by no means a simple physical requirement, but more importantly, it is more important to shoot with a sense of realism, especially those photographers who have to carry the camera to run quickly, and even the parts with blood, fights and action scenes.
At the same time, because it is a zombie theme, the corresponding special effects makeup is also essential.
These technical difficulties were handled by Henry, the production manager who returned to Fire Lion after the filming of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone".
As the scale of Fire Lion's own production has grown, the production department led by Henry has finally expanded its authority to form a suitable production team for its film projects, especially series of film projects with different styles.
Integrate the director, actors, and behind-the-scenes crew. Because of this, Henry now has more to deal with behind-the-scenes affairs at the headquarters of Fire Lion Pictures, and it is difficult to be Sid's producer in person.
On the other hand, the heroine of "Death Video Rec" has chosen the now unknown Australian mature Naomi Watts. She once auditioned for the lead actress in Sid's "Warm Corpse" a year ago, although she was brushed off because of her age.
However, as the new screaming queen in the new version of King Kong in "history", Naomi Watts has a terrifying temperament from the inside out. This can also be seen from her later role as the heroine of "The American Version of Midnight Bell".
After last year's tragic experience of being kicked out of her apartment by her landlord, Naomi Watts seems to be in the process of coming and going, starting with the big-name director David Lynch who invited her to shoot the thriller "Hermulan Drive".
Although in this movie, the heroine has a lot of Luo Lu shots, but - the heroine!
It's impossible for any girl working hard in Los Angeles to ignore such an opportunity, so Naomi accepted the offer with little hesitation.
Then, next is the invitation of the Fire Lion, also the heroine, but in a commercial horror film. Or a DV horror film created by the genius Sid, for Naomi Watts, who has been "idle" in Hollywood for too long, she definitely didn't think of refusing.
So, although Naomi is now filming "Hermulan Drive", as soon as David Lynch finishes, she will immediately switch to the filming of "Death Video Rec".
So Fire Lion Pictures has begun to form a crew, find a director, and integrate producers.
Speaking of which, I have to mention a little about the director of this "Hermulan Drive" - David Lynch.
As one of the well-known directors born in the 6th and 70s, David Lynch can be regarded as one of the top directors from the East Coast, alongside Martin Scorsese and Woody Allen.
That being said, David Lynch can also be considered one of Sid's most incomprehensible directors.
Because in terms of film style, David Lynch, who likes to play with surreal suspense elements, is quite similar in style to the later god-level character, Nolan.
But unlike all of Nolan's films, Sid has always had a hard time finding endogenous logic in David Lynch's films. For example, the dream cascading in "Inception", the time and space regression in "Interstellar", or the confrontation between Xiao Lizi's fantasy and reality in Martin Scorsese's "Shutter Island".
For other directors, most of the surreal elements in the film serve the theme and purpose of the film, but when watching David Lynch's films, such as this "Hermuland Drive", Sid has a hard time finding the story and logic behind it. At the same time, Sid can't understand what David Lynch, an older generation of directors, wants to express, and the true meaning behind the film.
In the end, "Hermulan Drive", which was well received by film critics and favored during the awards season, has always seemed like an obscure surreal prose in Sid's eyes - you can't read it, and you can't understand it.

Britney's seven-week European tour will take her to 10 European countries, including the UK, Germany and Belgium. And Sid, after completing the filming of "Harry Potter", simply gave himself a short vacation and spent two weeks with Britney.
The two can be regarded as a trip to Europe, during which Britney's concert performance is very compact, Sid still took Britney Spears to enjoy a romantic trip to Europe. The two of them took time out of their tour in various cities, taking time to play at the right time.
Even if they can't leave the hotel because of physical problems or fanatical fan problems, the two can still enjoy their romantic date alone.
And when Sid returned to North America after a small vacation in Europe, he received an invitation from his ally Columbia Pictures before he could start post-processing on "Harry Potter".
"Charlie's Angel (Breaking Bad)?" Sid smiled faintly, flipping through the delicate letter in his hand.
"Yes, Boss, it was sent by the CEO of Colombia, Michanic, himself. Sean, the distribution manager of Fire Lion Pictures, nodded, "They say it's an action movie of a female agent." ”
"I remember if this wasn't originally an old TV show from the '70s?" Henry, a producer-turned-producer, immediately remembered.
"I heard that the production team wants to follow the roots of feminism and create a new era of female agent films. Sean, who has been in North America, obviously knows more about the matter.
"Well, isn't that interesting?" Sid curled the corners of his mouth slightly, "New century, new style, everyone is tired of watching 007, maybe you want to see Chick fight?"
"Hey, Boss, what is going to happen to our 24 Hours?" asked Henry, quippingly.
"Aren't we representing a new era?" Sid smiled confidently.

In the past five years, Columbia Pictures has had a hard time, whether it is poor performance or a large number of money-losing bad movies. Columbia Pictures is also considered to be the worst-run division of Sony's North American division.
